I went geocaching while the kids were at scouts. Overall, a very successful evening. The first hour was a phone call with Tristan Goode, and what I learnt is I should call Tristan more because every call (based on a data set of one walk) is 5km.
Tuggeranong Stone Wall
Its not every day that your walk is to a 140 year old stone wall that you’ve been driving past for years without even knowing its there. That however was today’s walk, inspired by a walk post by John Evans. I really enjoyed this walk, and it was a good length too. It would have…
Point Hut Crossing to Pine Island
Andrew and I decided to walk from Point Hut Crossing (near our house) to Pine Island yesterday. Its a nice walk, about 4km and mostly flat with a track the whole way. We even found some geocaches along the way. I think this route would be a good one for cubs.
Two trigs and a first attempt at finding Westlake
I have to do HR paperwork for work at the moment, so I was looking for a quiet place to progress such things. I ended up beside Lake Burley Griffin working away on my laptop, which was quite pleasant. While in the area, it seemed like a good idea to have a quick first attempt…
Geocaching in the evening
I went geocaching while the kids were at scouts. Overall, a very successful evening.
Big Monks
I’m going to be honest here and say I got this one pretty wrong. Looking at Google Earth, Big Monks is about 1.7 km from the access road (which I got right), what I failed to notice is that it is super steep and that much of the walk is off the trail. So… A…
Cooleman and Arawang Trigs
Doug and I went out to walk Doug’s dog at short notice yesterday evening, and managed to sneak in two trigs while we were at it. A nice walk, although it took longer than I expected it to, with our average speed only being about 3.5 kilometers an hour. I wonder how much of that…
First jog, and a walk to Los Altos
Today was a busy day, not only did I foolishly go for a jog 5 minutes after sunrise… …but then I went for a walk with James in the afternoon as well. Let’s just say my fitbit is very impressed with me.
A walk in the San Mateo historic red woods
James, Tony and I went for a little post long haul flight walk this afternoon in some red woods. Very nice.
Harcourt and Rogers Trigs
I needed to visit someone in deepest darkest North Canberra yesterday, and there was an hour to kill between that meeting and the local Linux User’s Group meeting. It seemed silly to have driven all that way and to not see a couple of trigs, so I visited these two. Both these trigs were easy…
